Stepping into the Restaurant & Pub at Big Lake Grocery is like traveling back in time. While the local dining spot still retains its mom ‘n’ pop general store on the side, take a look at the bones of the building. Or should we say “buildings?” Big Lake Grocery is actually an amalgam of three different houses that were once owned by the Day Lumber Company – as was the entire town of Big Lake. Over its history, BLG has been a bathhouse, a post office, a laundry, and even a movie house.

In this incarnation, BLG is primarily a warm, friendly, local gathering spot serving hearty homestyle meals all day, along with plenty of Washington brews on tap (as well as all your favorite national and international beers and ales). It’s been family-owned for the last sixteen years, and we’re fully committed to making BLG the favorite hang in Mount Vernon and the Skagit Valley.

So if you’re tooling between Seattle and Bellingham, stop in for breakfast, coffee, a burger or salad, or just a frosty brew served with a smile and a genuine, “How ya doing?” Come visit us and step into a simpler, warmer, friendlier era.

The BLoG

Welcome to The BLoG – The Place to get Big Lake Grocery Updates and Happenings. The first question we had to ask ourselves when creating this most recent incarnation of a website was…..does anybody read and follow our posts? We hope so and will do our best to keep things fresh and informed about what’s happening not only with us @ The BLG but here in the community.

With that being said it is our hope that we can offer up this platform of expression to YOU our neighbors. We would like this content to give a true reflection of what we are all about but with this kind of forum we will have to lay down some ground rules for article submission.

No Politics or Religion….Period. This as in a barroom is not the place for folks to push or sway personal agendas.

Keep it reasonably clean ….This website is available to all ages so please respect that and keep the language decent.

No Attacks Please….This includes utility companies and any other person, agency or business that you may be mad at.
